16 Intel® RAID Controller RS2WG160 Hardware User’s Guide
The drive failure tones repeat until the problem is corrected, or until the alarm is silenced
or disabled. The alarm can be silenced or disabled on the controller’s properties page in
the BIOS Console or by using the failed drive options pane in the Intel
®
RAID Web
Console 2.
Silencing the alarm is temporary. If the cause of failure still exists or if an additional
failure is detected, then the alarm sounds again when the system is rebooted. Disabling the
alarm is persistent across errors and reboots. When the alarm is disabled, a failure does not
cause it to sound until it is re-enabled.
The rebuild alarm tone functions differently. It remains ON during the rebuild. After the
rebuild completes, an alarm with a different tone sounds to signal that the rebuild is
complete. This is a one-time, non-repeating tone.

®
